We report photometric observations of Type Ia-91T SN 2026pel (TNSTR-2026-2509), obtained with the OAUNI 51cm telescope (arXiv:1512.03104) at Huancayo Observatory, Peru. CCD imaging was carried out in V and R filters on one epoch under non-photometric conditions. The integration times were 70x20s=1400s for SN 2026pel in both filters. Our measurements yielded:

Date (UT) filter seeing (") mag
2026-07-17.021 V 1.8 16.87 +/- 0.02
2026-07-17.044 R 2.0 16.98 +/- 0.01

Zero-point calibration was performed using UCAC4 field stars. The observations were gathered ~32 days after the discovery of SN 2026pel. The OAUNI project is supported by UNI (VRI Formativa 2025), TWAS, IGP, and ProCiencia-Concytec (Convenio 133-2020).
